Flotation is one of the most used methods to upgrade natural graphite resources. However, efficiency usually decreased due entrainment undesirable fine gangue minerals. In this work, impact different factors such as particle size, pulp density, and flotation reagent on mica quartz in a flake was studied. The single mineral results showed increased when reducing size minerals increasing density....

Negatively Biased Flotation Column (NBFC) is a tool, which developed for the flotation of coarse-sized ores. Unlike conventional column, in this there no froth zone and wash-water usually not used. Therefore, hydrodynamically entrainment fine-sized particles into concentrate possible, may result decrease grade or yield concentrate.
 In study, operating parameters that can affect were inves...

The Cerattepe (Artvin) mine contains volcanogenic massive sulfide (VMS) deposits in northeastern Turkey. This is a kuroko type deposit located Late Cretaceous volcanic, intrusive and sedimentary rocks, has structure with dense alteration stages. In this study, batch flotation tests were carried out to determine the behavior of new sample (mix ore), that was combination two different ores behavi...
